While there are many games that deal with world wars, there are not many that focus on World War I. That changed on the 6th with the release of 'Over The Top: WWI' (hereinafter 'Over The Top'), a newcomer that has remained at the top of Steam’s global best-sellers list for three consecutive days, currently boasting a 'Very Positive' rating.

Set during the Great War, Over The Top delivers chaos on a massive scale, supporting 100-versus-100 battles with up to 200 players clashing at once. You can choose to fight for France, the UK, or Germany, picking from a diverse range of classes including infantry, engineers, flamethrower specialists, and officers.

What makes this title stand out is its sandbox system, where the terrain morphs in real-time based on the carnage. Whether you're cratering the earth with artillery, digging impromptu trenches, or collapsing buildings to alter sightlines, your tactical improvisation actually matters. Having teased players with multiple public tests before its official launch, the game has clearly capitalized on the hype surrounding its 200-player brawls and reactive environment.

As of the 9th, Over The Top holds a 'Very Positive' rating (based on 1,286 reviews, with 91% positive). Players are singing the praises of the destructible terrain—some have even gone as far as to say that 'shoveling dirt is more fun than shooting guns,' noting that trenches you dig in a campaign carry over to subsequent battles. It’s a visceral experience where you’ll find 200 players in a mosh pit, punctuated by bizarre moments like bagpipes playing amidst the fire or someone bludgeoning an enemy with a baguette. Still, it’s not all glory; technical hiccups, including severe frame drops caused by the physics engine and shaky regional servers, have been flagged as significant drawbacks.

Elsewhere, Cities: Skylines has climbed to 10th place, spurred by a week of free play, a 90% discount, and the anticipation of new DLC that lets you build race tracks. The Division 2 is also holding steady, maintaining its 'Very Positive' user rating thanks to the warm reception of its new realism mode.

In the peak concurrent players chart, Slay the Spire 2 has absolutely smashed it, reaching 574,638 concurrent players—over ten times the record set by its predecessor. It has even cracked the top 20 of Steam’s all-time records while maintaining an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating. Path of Exile has also seen a resurgence, climbing to 11th place with over 100,000 players following the launch of its new league on the 7th.
